Recent Sales
Recent sales for base cards from this era typically occur in bulk lots. Individual sales are rare due to high production volume, often selling for the minimum listing price on platforms like eBay or COMC.
Condition Details
The card shows light edge wear and slightly soft corners. The horizontal centering appears shifted slightly to the left. The surface looks clean without obvious scratches, but there is minor whitening on the corners.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The cost of grading significantly exceeds the market value of the card, even if it were to receive a high grade. This was a mass-produced 'Junk Wax' era card.

The card features an artistic illustration by Vernon Wells (signed 'V. WELLS' on the art). It shows Boston Red Sox outfielder Ellis Burks in both a profile headshot and a full-body batting action pose. The background is a vibrant sunset orange and purple gradient. A stylized baseball with the 'Boston Red Sox' team name is featured on the right side. The 1992 Upper Deck logo is in the top left, and 'THE COLLECTOR'S CHOICE' branding is in the bottom right corner.
Notable Features

Authentication Notes
The card appears authentic with correct 1992 Upper Deck holographic logo placement (on back, not shown but typical) and standard paper stock consistent with the era. No signs of counterfeit reproduction.
